Update: The official Billboard/Nielsen data has been published, and it confirms that 5 Seconds of Summer’s “Sounds Good Feels Good” won the weekly album sales race.

According to Nielsen Music, “Sounds Good Feels Good” sold 179,000 pure US copies within the October 23-29 tracking week. Down sharply from the 259,000 moved by the band’s predecessor, the total nonetheless gives the 5SOS album the edge over all new and holdover releases.

Carrie Underwood’s new “Storyteller,” which came closest, moved 164,000 pure copies in the official tracking week.

A far cry from the 300,000 that industry analysts were predicting as recently as last month, the opening week sales total for 5 Seconds of Summer’s “Sounds Good Feels Good” still ranks as the week’s best.

According to Hits Daily Double, the new 5SOS album sold approximately 180,386 US copies during the October 23-29 tracking week. The count gives “Sounds Good Feels Good” the victory over Carrie Underwood’s “Storyteller” — and all other new and holdover albums.

Due Sunday, Billboard’s more authoritative data will differ slightly. The disparity will not, however, be great enough to change the overall conclusion: “Sounds Good Feels Good” was the week’s best-selling album and will start at #1 on Top Album Sales.

Powered by sales of approximately 164,090, the aforementioned “Storyteller” will take second.
